I was surprised to find the prolific Mecrisp Forth doesn't seem to be implemented on the ESP32.
http://mecrisp.sourceforge.net/
I'm shocked and surprised. I read that the ESP32 has closed source code for the TCP/IP stack requiring programming through C. I suppose that's the reason for not having ported Mecrisp to the ESP32? Anyone know?

Mecrisp is written mostly in assembly language and the original ESP32

uses a somewhat weird instruction set, so porting Mecrisp would be a lot
of work. The newest ESP32 model (ESP32-C3) uses the RISC-V architecture
and Mecrisp already runs on RISC-V, so porting to the ESP32-C3 would be
easier than to the original ESP32.
